However, a benzyl, methoxybenzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl group is cleaved, for example, hydrogenolytically, e.g. with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide, dimethylformamide/acetone or glacial acetic acid, optionally with the addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid or glacial acetic acid at temperatures between 0 and 50° C., but preferably at ambient temperature, and at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 7 bar, but preferably 3 to 5 bar.

A methoxybenzyl group may also be cleaved in the presence of an oxidising agent such as cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate in a solvent such as methylene chloride, acetonitrile or acetonitrile/water at temperatures of between 0 and 50° C., but preferably at ambient temperature.

A 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group, however, is preferably cleaved in trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisol.

A tert.butyl or tert.butyloxycarbonyl group is preferably cleaved by treating with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid, optionally using a solvent such as methylene chloride, dioxane, ethyl acetate or ether.

A phthalyl group is preferably cleaved in the presence of hydrazine or a primary amine such as methylamine, ethylamine or n-butylamine in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, toluene/water or dioxane at temperatures between 20 and 50° C.

Moreover, chiral compounds obtained of general formula I may be resolved into their enantiomers and/or diastereomers.

Thus, for example, the compounds of general formula I obtained which occur as racemates may be separated by methods known per se (cf. Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in “Topics in Stereochemistry”, Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical antipodes and compounds of general formula I with at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical-chemical differences using methods known per se, e.g. by chromatography and/or fractional crystallisation, and, if these compounds are obtained in racemic form, they may subsequently be resolved into the enantiomers as mentioned above.

The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation on chiral phases or by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent or by reacting with an optically active substance which forms salts or derivatives such as e.g. esters or amides with the racemic compound, particularly acids and the activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separating the diastereomeric mixture of salts or derivatives thus obtained, e.g. on the basis of their differences in solubility, whilst the free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents. Optically active acids in common use are e.g. the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, N-acetylglutamic acid, aspartic acid, N-acetylaspartic acid or quinic acid. An optically active alcohol may be, for example, (+)- or (−)-menthol and an optically active acyl group in amides may be, for example, a (+)- or (−)-menthyloxycarbonyl group.

Furthermore, the compounds of formula I obtained may be converted into the salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids. Acids which may be used for this purpose include for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, methanesulphonic acid or ethanesulphonic acid.

Moreover, if the new compounds of formula I thus obtained contain a carboxy group, they may subsequently, if desired, be converted into the salts thereof with inorganic or organic bases, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts thereof. Suitable bases for this purpose include for example sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, cyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine.

The compounds of general formulae II to IX used as starting materials are known from the literature in some cases or may be obtained by methods known from the literature or may be obtained by methods as described hereinbefore and in the Examples. For example, the compounds of general formula VIII may be obtained from the compounds of general formula I wherein R₄ denotes a phenyl group substituted by a hydroxy-C₁₋₃-alkyl group, for example by reacting with alkyl- or arylsulphonyl chlorides.

As already mentioned, the new compounds of general formula I wherein R₁ denotes a hydrogen atom or a prodrug group have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly inhibitory effects on various kinases, especially on receptor-tyrosine kinases such as VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, FGFR1, FGFR3, EGFR, HER2, IGF1R and HGFR, as well as on complexes of CDKs (Cyclin Dependent Kinases) such as CDK1, CDK2, CDK3, CDK4, CDK5, CDK6, CDK7, CDK8 and CDK9 with their specific cyclins (A, B1, B2, C, D1, D2, D3, E, F, G1, G2, H, I and K) and on viral cyclin, on the proliferation of cultivated human cells, particularly endothelial cells, e.g. in angiogenesis, but also on the proliferation of other cells, particularly tumour cells.

The biological properties of the new compounds were tested by the following standard procedure, as follows:

Human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultivated in IMDM (Gibco BRL), supplemented with 10% foetal calf serum (FBS) (Sigma), 50 μM of β-mercaptoethanol (Fluka), standard antibiotics, 15 μg/ml of endothelial cell growth factor (ECGS, Collaborative Biomedical Products) and 100 μg/ml of heparin (Sigma) on gelatine-coated culture dishes (0.2% gelatine, Sigma) at 37° C., under 5% CO₂ in a water-saturated atmosphere.

In order to investigate the inhibitory activity of the compounds according to the invention the cells were “starved” for 16 hours, i.e. kept in culture medium without growth factors (ECGS+heparin). The cells were detached from the culture dishes using trypsin/EDTA and washed once in serum-containing medium. Then they were seeded out in amounts of 2.5×10³ cells per well.

The proliferation of the cells was stimulated with 5 ng/ml of VEGF₁₆₅ (vascular endothelial growth factor; H. Weich, GBF Braunschweig) and 10 μg/ml of heparin. As a control, 6 wells in each dish were not stimulated.

The compounds according to the invention were dissolved in 100% dimethylsulphoxide and added to the cultures in various dilutions as triple measurements, the maximum dimethylsulphoxide concentration being 0.3%.

The cells were incubated for 76 hours at 37° C., then for a further 16 hours ³H-thymidine (0.1 μCi/well, Amersham) was added in order to determine the DNA synthesis. Then the radioactively labelled cells were immobilised on filter mats and the radioactivity incorporated was measured in a β-counter. In order to determine the inhibitory activity of the compounds according to the invention the mean value of the non-stimulated cells was subtracted from the mean value of the factor-stimulated cells (in the presence or absence of the compounds according to the invention).

The relative cell proliferation was calculated as a percentage of the control (HUVEC without inhibitor) and the concentration of active substance which inhibits the proliferation of the cells by 50% (IC₅₀) was determined.

In view of their inhibitory effect on the proliferation of cells, particularly endothelial cells and tumour cells, the compounds of general formula I are suitable for treating diseases in which the proliferation of cells, particularly endothelial cells, plays a part.

Thus, for example, the proliferation of endothelial cells and the concomitant neovascularisation constitute a crucial stage in tumour progression (Folkman J. et al., Nature 339, 58-61, (1989); Hanahan D. and Folkman J., Cell 86, 353-365, (1996)). Furthermore, the proliferation of endothelial cells is also important in haemangiomas, in metastasisation, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and ocular neovascularisation (Folkman J., Nature Med. 1, 27-31, (1995)). The therapeutic usefulness of inhibitors of endothelial cell proliferation was demonstrated in the animal model for example by O'Reilly et al. and Parangi et al. (O'Reilly M. S. et al., Cell 88, 277-285, (1997); Parangi S. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 93, 2002-2007, (1996)).

The compounds of general formula I, their tautomers, their stereoisomers or the physiologically acceptable salts thereof are thus suitable, for example, for treating tumours (e.g. plate epithelial carcinoma, astrocytoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, glioblastoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, head and neck carcinoma, melanoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, small-cell lung cancer, glioma, colorectal cancer, urogenital cancer and gastrointestinal cancer as well as haematological cancers such as multiple myeloma), psoriasis, arthritis (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis), haemangioma, angiofibroma, eye diseases (e.g. diabetic retinopathy), neovascular glaucoma, kidney diseases (e.g. glomerulonephritis), diabetic retinopathy, malignant nephrosclerosis, thrombic microangiopathic syndrome, transplant rejections and glomerulopathy, fibrotic diseases (e.g. cirrhosis of the liver), mesangial cell proliferative diseases, arteriosclerosis, damage to the nerve tissue and for inhibiting the reocclusion of blood vessels after treatment with a balloon catheter, in vascular prosthetics or after the fitting of mechanical devices for holding the blood vessels open (e.g. stents), or other diseases in which cell proliferation or angiogenesis are involved.

By reason of their biological properties the compounds according to the invention may be used on their own or in conjunction with other pharmacologically active compounds, for example in tumour therapy, in monotherapy or in conjunction with other anti-tumour therapeutic agents, for example in combination with topoisomerase inhibitors (e.g. etoposide), mitosis inhibitors (e.g. vinblastine, taxol), compounds which interact with nucleic acids (e.g. cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, adriamycin), hormone antagonists (e.g. tamoxifen), inhibitors of metabolic processes (e.g. 5-FU etc.), cytokines (e.g. interferons), receptor tyrosine kinase and kinase inhibitors, antibodies, or in conjunction with radiotherapy, etc. These combinations may be administered either simultaneously or sequentially.

For pharmaceutical use the compounds according to the invention are generally used for warm-blooded vertebrates, particularly humans, in doses of 0.01-100 mg/kg of body weight, preferably 0.1-20 mg/kg. For administration they are formulated with one or more conventional inert carriers and/or diluents, e.g. with corn starch, lactose, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol, water/polyethyleneglycol, propyleneglycol, stearylalcohol, carboxymethylcellulose or fatty substances such as hard fat or suitable mixtures thereof in conventional galenic preparations such as plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders, injectable solutions, ampoules, suspensions, solutions, sprays or suppositories.
